My present invention has reference to a cabinet for use in banks, trust companies and other places of business that use coin or paper money, and the object of the invention is the provision of a cabinet provided with a number of shelves in the nature of immovable compartments in which are arranged the different wrappers or straps to be used for wrapping small coins or binding paper money, the bottom two shelves for bill straps and the five upper shelves for coin wrappers, one shelf for each denomination, whereby the operator has all the necessary wrappers and straps arranged in the shelves so that he can withdraw any one that he wants to use without disturbing the other wrapper or bill strap. The trays on the top of the container are to be used for holding rubber bands, paper clips and pins or other small items if the user so desires.

Another advantage is that it holds all the above mentioned items and yet only takes up a small counter space and which shall be of a simple construction, cheaply and easily manu factured and which shall be found thoroughly efiicient for its purpose.

To the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the improvement hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the improvement.

Figure 2 is a sectional view approximately on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a face view.

Figure 4 is a view of the blank from which the body of the improvement is formed.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the compartments.

Figure 6 is a similar view of one of the partitions.

As disclosed by Figure 4 of the drawings the body of the improvement is constructed v from a single piece of suitable material which is bendable. The body includes a top 1, sides 2 and a back 3 and a bottom 4. The sides from their edges which extend outwardly from the top 1 are cutat opposite angles and these angle edges are formed with equidistantly spaced notches 5 and upstanding fingers 6 between the notches. The sides are scored in a line with the edges of the top 1, the back is scored in a line with the rear edge of the top and likewise scored at its juncture with the bottom 4. These parts are bent along the score lines. The back 3 and the bottom 4: are provided with additional longitudinal score lines adjacent tothe edges and these parts are bent upon the said score lines to form inwardly directed flanges 7 and 8, respectively, the said flanges being brought against the vertical rear walls of the sides 2 and against the said sides adjacent to their lower edges and are soldered, welded or otherwise rigidly secured to the said sides.

By forming the sides with the opposite angularly directed edges they are provided with the notches andofingers and it will be noted that the front of the cabinet is of stepped formation, and there is arranged in each of the notches 5 plates 9 of different lengths, the said plates having their rear ends bent upwardly to provide back portions 10, the said backs having their edges formed with right angular flanges 11 and the edges of the plates 9 are likewise formed with depending fianges 12. The flanges 11 and 12 are in contact with the inner faces of the sides 2 and are secured to the said sides in. any desired or preferred manner. When the plates 9 that provide the stepped compartments are arranged in the body of the cabinet it will be noted that the rear flanges of the several plates contact with and afford a rest for the plate that rests thereon, the upper edges of the said rear flanges 10 being disposed above the angle flanges 11 of the back portions of the plates that comprise the-several compartments. The plates 10 have notched or cut-away portions 13 that provide inner rounded walls and opposite the notches the upper edges of the plates are formed with angle upstanding portions 14 that merge into downwardly directed flanges 15. The parts 14 and 15 provide hook-like elements for the front of the plates 9 comprising the compartments and these hook-like elements are received over the fingers 6. it being noted that the inner walls provided by the fingers are arranged at an angle.

being illustrated i.n detail by Figure 6 of; the J drawings.

The top 1 of the cabinetis provided wit-1f spaced transverse depressions 17. The end walls provided by these depressionsare" rounded and the side and end walls are dished inwardly,,the depressions providing the top with spaced trays= The several compartments provided by the plates-9 are designed to receive therein coin wrappers and bill straps to.be wrapped around loose coin and paper money. By arranging the wrappers and straps in the compartments the same willbe-held} from folding, or buckling and may be properly positioned in stacks, that is, the said wrappers and' straps arranged one-over the other. The straps and wrappers are variously colored to indicate the nature of'thecoin or paper money around which the. same are arranged and likewise may be stacked'to further indicate the nature and value of the coin. The wrappers and straps are individually removed from the several compartments by the operator inserting his fingler in the notch between the spaced hooks t io outer ends of the plates 9.

The bottom of'the body is provided, adjacent to its front andrear, and likewise adjacent to its edges with dependingsockets 18"in the nature of feet, the said sockets having inserted therein compressible elements 19 which project therefrom and which prevent the cabinet marring the counter upon which it is arranged.

The construction is simple-and the advantages thereof will, it isthought, be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art-to which suchinvention relates so that further detailed description is not believed necessary; Obviously I do not wish to be restricted to the precise details herein set forth and, therefore, hold myself'entitled to make such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scope of what Iclaim.

Having described-the invention, Iclaim:

1. A cabinet for thepurpose set forth, comprising a'top, a back and a bottom, and sides, the edges of the sides being arranged at down: wardand loutward inclinations and the said edges being notched to define outer upstanding fingers, trays, each comprising a plate having a back portion, and having its front formed with an upstanding hook to engage with the fingers of. the sides and the said front having the hooked portions thereof notched, the back and edges of the trays being fixedly secured to the sides of the body, and the top of the body having spaced depressions each affording a tray.

2. A cabinet for the purpose set forth, comprising a body formed from a single strip of material to provide a top,.a.back, a bottom and sides,: all of which. arev connected, the sides having their outer edges arranged at downward inclinations, and being notched toaifordiupstanding fingersontward of the notches, plates having upstanding back portions w'hose edges, bele'w their upper ends, are flanged right angularly and the edges of "the -'p'lates bei'ng'flanged downwardly and said flanges being secured to the. sides of the body, said plates having their outer edges arranged at an upward and from thence at a downward angle to provide hooks which engage with the fingers OfPtllG body and said hooks being'cut-away in aline with the plates 'to'provide finger openings and the. top of the body having spaced depressions therein, each affording a tray.'

In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature.
